2 pm on 5/December 1945, five US bombers took off from Fort
auderdale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather. Shortly
afterwards, the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were
malfunctioning. Two hours after take-off, all contact with the planes
was lost. A reconnaissance plane was immediately dispatched to
search for the missing planes. Within 20 minutes, radio contact with
it had also been lost. No trace of any of the planes was ever found. In
all, six planes and 27 men had vanished into the air. The
disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first
mysterious incident in the area: for years, navigational problems and
strange magnetic forces had been reported. The disappearance was
not even the greatest disaster within the triangle. The Cyclops
19,000-ton US ship, was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk, Virginia
March 1918, it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the
ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest
wreckage ever being found. The losses of boats and planes in that
area defy explanation. The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in
the English language - the Bermuda Triangle(The Bermuda Triangle
has been called the Devil's Triangle, the Triangle of Death and the
Graveyard of the Atlantic. Yt has swallowed upto 140 ships and planes
and more than 1,000 people. Today, many airmen and sailors are still
afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.
